Chapter 637: The Female Lead in the Book (1)
During this pivotal juncture, the Third Prince and Lin Yue visited Su Bin more frequently than before. Su Bin reiterated multiple times that he would offer unwavering support from the beginning to the end.
Su Bin held the conviction that if the Public House seized the throne, it wouldn’t be a boon for the commoners. The prevailing feudal mentality dictated that people were inherently reluctant to let the Public House dominate the world, believing that if the Public House could ascend, they could too. In such a scenario, regional heroes might self-proclaim as kings, and the flames of war would persist, leading to unending internal conflicts. The vulnerability of scattered troops would create an opportune moment for external adversaries to strike.
Inevitably, not only would the commoners suffer, but even noble families would be adversely affected. Dynastic changes historically resulted in a substantial loss of life.
The optimal solution to avert war was for the Third Prince to reclaim the throne, ensuring peace in the realm.
During their meals together, Su Bin would dismiss the servants, creating an intimate setting for the four of them to dine leisurely while analyzing the court’s situation.
On numerous occasions, the Third Prince and Lin Yue didn’t exclude Qin Zhenzhen from their discussions. They recognized her as no ordinary woman. Sometimes, her casual insights proved more valuable than days of their own contemplation.
How could they have known that Qin Zhenzhen had perused this particular book? She possessed crucial insights into the Public House’s vulnerabilities and strategies to deal with them.
In the original narrative, the Public House featured sparingly. Following the ascension of the Eighth Imperial Uncle, the Public House harbored considerable discontent. While the Public House had long harbored ambitions to seize the throne, the Eighth Imperial Uncle abruptly intervened, disrupting their plans. However, the Public House, mindful of their limited strength, endured the humiliation without openly provoking the Eighth Imperial Uncle. The delicate balance persisted as the Eighth Imperial Uncle refrained from rashly attacking, given the instability of his foundation.
Su Bin’s strategic assistance eventually led to the overthrow of the entire Public House. When the Eighth Imperial Uncle ascended the throne, the General Manor maintained a silent stance, committed to guarding the border while awaiting the growth of the Third Prince.
"Governor Su, Mrs. Su, Master and I propose a toast to you," declared the Third Prince, his magnetic voice pulling Qin Zhenzhen back to the present.
